Boaters and coastal residents are being encouraged to be on the lookout, after an entangled humpback whale was spotted off Port Stephens on Wednesday afternoon.
Rescue organisations were notified on Thursday morning, after a photographer at Boat Harbour noticed the entanglement while looking at the pictures afterwards.
The animal's understood to be heading north, further up the coastline, with an orange buoy tangled and splashing behind it.
It's likely the whale could be killed if it isn't freed from the entanglement.
It's estimated it could be off the Coffs Harbour coast by Friday morning.
